The story of Uhlenbrock
Uhlenbrock’s company history begins with the founding of the firm Rüdiger Uhlenbrock in Bottrop-Grafenwald. The company develops digital products for model railways. Its official history gives no exact founding year.
In 1998, Uhlenbrock introduced the Intellibox digital control unit. The system supported Motorola and DCC equipment, Selectrix decoders, computer control, s88 feedback and route setting. The company added a new production line in January 2000 and a new soldering system in December 2004. In February 2009, it introduced the Intellibox II as the successor to the original Intellibox. Its later digital-control range includes networked components and accessories for model railway operation.
